Abstract:		 An archaeological area excavation and watching brief were carried out on part of the route of an electrical cable diversion located on land at Cantelupe Farm, Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire. The route of the diversion passes through a landscape containing numerous cropmarks indicative of significant Iron Age/Roman settlement remains. An earlier phase of trial trenching revealed ditches of probable Iron Age date that were well preserved and protected by a substantial depth of soil. The archaeological area excavation and watching brief uncovered several archaeological features, the majority of which comprised ditches tentatively dated to the Iron Age. Due to the limited extent of the revealed features within the investigations, and the paucity of finds, very little can be inferred about their function or purpose. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that they probably form part of an enclosure or boundary system associated with, but on the periphery of, the nearby scheduled monument. This is confirmed by the correspondence of some of the ditches with adjacent cropmarks that constitute the monument. The findings also corroborate the results of trial trenching to the north of Cantelupe Farm which identified late Iron Age/early Roman field system remains associated with the scheduled monument.
